Excellent, just excellent!

nffc: Yeah, we should've really taken you apart with a few goals. I think your 3-1 prediction was an agreeable one - shame we didn't live up to it.

On the day though, we were the better value until our incompetent manager took centre stage. Doesn't hide the fact that you're top and a week ago we were in the relegation zone, and the match ended all square...

Still at least Trundle didn't pwn us.

either rangers have lost the plot and not interested in the league, or they are dismal this season.

but by the looks of it, Hearts have got the will power to win this season.

this is making the SPL very exciting. IMO

Hail Hail

Or because Hearts have their own Abramovich.

look on the bright side next season you will have a derby as leics come plummeting down to join you

all sorts of things going wrong for us at the moment but yet again we concede from a set piece.

Probably, but I think its Chelsea's fault anyway

Did anyone notice during the Liverpool Birmingham match then when Garcia was coming on as a sub, he took his ring off and put it in his mouth, so the linesman wouldn't see it, and when he was on the pitch he took it out and put it back on. The ref then sent him back to take it off.

you should send that in to Third eye

sherer · 26-09-2005, 15:04

you can see how bad things are at Man U as we now havea chant of "attack attack attack" the team should be doing that anyway

Chrysalis · 26-09-2005, 15:12

Man U have a good first 11 as any team including chelsea the difference is chelsea can rotate players without been weakened.

Arsenal are just weaker altogether now I think, not enough strength in depth with strikers.

Arsenal's mistake was selling Vieira, even if he wanted to go, he is probably the best box-to-box midfielder in the world or at least one of, and he's proving difficult to replace. Apart from that, they rely a lot on Henry's goals and assists, they don't really have anyone else as creative or prolific.

Man U - RvN aside there's little goal threat in spite of Ferguson shelling out on Saha, Smith, etc etc. He seems to prefer Smith in midfield and Saha's always injured, and Solksjaer who I consider probably their best predator (if not, must run RvN close) has missed about 2 years. Defensively they're not bad, van der Sar is the keeper they should have got instead of Bosnich good as he was/is, and now van der Sar is getting on so hardly a future planning move.

Chelsea don't score many, but they rarely concede, 1 goal this season. If you don't concede you draw the game even if you don't score, if you score, you win. They don't NEED to score, because they don't concede.

More departures
A cost cutting exercise, or was he not just good enough ?
